Looks good! I wonder why they feel the need to use slicks for pushing the car around the paddock?Morteza wrote: ↑25 Jul 2019, 10:07This is how Mercedes carry around W10

I wouldn't read to much into it. Pirelli probably give them to each team just to keep branding consistent.JordanMugen wrote: ↑16 Aug 2019, 21:17Looks good!

I presume those are off-the-shelf slicks from Pirelli racing tyre catalogue.
Looks like it says 245/645 R18 [width/diameter] on the sidewal. Very svelte and sleek looking: similar to the F1 front tyre outer diameter and width used from mid-eighties until 1997 [namely 10.0"/25.0" R13 for the imperial sized Goodyears].
Unfortunately, actual 2021 front tyres will be the somewhat chunkier 270/720 R18, if I recall correctly?
Still, nevertheless, a huge improvement on the comical wide 305mm front tyres used in 2019 [305/670 R13].

They probably run it with the rear wheels off the ground, holding the engine back with the brakes, to build engine, gearbox, brake and tyre tempsantos wrote: ↑12 Sep 2019, 13:26How can the rear brake discs are already glowing leaving the box??Thunder wrote: ↑12 Sep 2019, 09:30And so it begins....
